They need to park close to the mall so they can go inside and walk around for 4 hours? FVCK THEM THATS BULLSH!T
 
I sometimes see these spots that are for expecting women or parents of infants. We have used the spots before, both when my wife was pregnant and also for the first few months after they were born. It was very convenient when the kids were small. (we have 5 kids now, btw) Trying to get the small kids into the store while carrying the infant carrier, etc is hard enough--having the closer spots comes in handy. It sucks when some a$$hat parks in them, though. I saw that the other day and it really ticked me off. The lady that parked in the spot was not visibly pregnant, not was her passenger, but they pulled in front of me causing me to brake just so they could get it. I did not plan on parking there, anyway, but when I saw who got out, I almost made a comment to them....

They NEED the excersize

Does your hatret for fat people lead you to omit words?


as to the OP : I think the sign is a little silly. Maybe if the town I lived in had a population that was full of young children or mothers to be. But I don't think Newport Beach has a ton of those.. 😉 It would be wierd to see those signs around here.
 
I find it highly ironic that people whine about spots being set aside for others (handicapped, pregnant, whatever). You complain about someone getting a closer spot even though they might not need it. Do you need it? Can you walk the extra 20 feet? Good, stop whining then. Until you've been pregnant and feeling miserable during the last few months of pregnancy, having back pain, or other medical problems associated with pregnancy, stop whining.

I'd wager that 99% of the people complaining or being disrespectful are pimple farming nerds who have no idea what pregnancy is like. Twerps. Maybe ATOT needs an age minimum, kind of like a minimum driving age. You'd need a posting license before you could post immature drivel.

I think if you are so concerned about a parking spot for pregnant women, you need to re-evaluate the things that you concern yourself with.
